Fourteen-year-old Kentucky girl Ricki Jo Winstead, who would preferred to be called Ericka, thank you very much,
is eager to shed her farmer's daughter roots and become part of the
popular crowd at her small town high school. She trades her Bible for Seventeen
magazine, buys new "sophisticated" clothes and somehow manages to
secure a tenuous spot at the cool kids table. She's on top of the world,
even though her best friend and the boy next door Luke says he misses
"plain old Ricki Jo."
Caught between being a country girl and
wannabe country club girl, Ricki Jo begins to forget who she truly is:
someone who doesn't care what people think and who wouldn't let a
good-looking guy walk all over her. It takes a serious incident out on
Luke's farm for Ricki Jo to realize that being a true friend is more
important than being popular.

As soon as I saw this one on Juju's page last week, I knew I had to read it! It looks so cute!! Love the title and the cover, too:)
